USA Today deletes controversial pedophilia tweets, stealth-edits headline
2022-01-13
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A leading American newspaper published a controversial article about pedophiles, and the controversy heightened after the news outlet's social media account deleted its initial accompanying remarks about the piece.

USA Today attempted to reframe the controversial topic of pedophilia as something that's "misunderstood." A majority of the piece brings up how child molesters complicate the public image of pedophiles.

One of the quotes in the pieces comes from psychologist, author, and "internationally recognized expert" Anna Slater, who says there are people who "molest kids because they're scared of adult women. They molest kids to get Dire Revenge, but they don't actually have an age preference for prepubescent children."

The theme of the article tries to argue the psychological situation of pedophiles, claiming it's a condition they're born with.

USA Today later deleted a thread of tweets that espoused the same talking points from the article and were met with a heavy ratio on Twitter.

The headline has been edited from "What the public keeps getting wrong about pedophilia" to "The complicated research behind pedophilia."

#9  USA Today attempted to reframe the controversial topic of pedophilia as something that's "misunderstood."

I don't think parents of abused children are going to accept this "woke" view of child-buggers.

#8  Zoo implies upkeep. I consider pedos an imminent threat waiting for an opportunity. Not just the natural ones, the groomed ones too, since they've had the taste.

#6  Imagine the "cordon sanitaire" you would have to have to keep the ped0s and cannibals in their approved areas.

#5  ^ note both urban areas. Grouping together makes easier to target.

#3  I have heard it said that slaying of the unborn has "put this land under a curse." The longer I live on this old ball, the more I tend to agree with the theory.

Apologies to Sodom and Gomorrah. They may have had nothing on us.

#2  Cannibals have rights too!

#1  Yup. Called it years ago. Pedophiles are next after trans. How could it not be? People don't control what they're attracted to, right? And according to them being attracted to children is no different from being attracted to other men.

They will make it legal and normal if we do not stop them.
